In April 2014, three friends embarked on a journey to Gilgit-Baltistan, the northernmost territory of Pakistan, where Karakoram range and western Himalayas converge. Home to five of the world's 'eight-thousanders', the region is one of raw beauty with snow-capped peaks rising from the valley floor. Our journey takes us from Gilgit to Passu, via the Hunza Valley, passing through Karimabad, Nagar, Gulmit, and across Attabad Lake.

Things went tough and unexpected when we started paddling on the Karakorum Highway(KKH). The courage and will in ourselves kept us moving on the 8th wonder of the world. Lets get started on a journey of emotions, courage, culture and history.

When a young woman decides to reach for the stars and challenge social, cultural and familial expectations along the way, she usually faces two responses: encouragement backed by enthusiastic support or doubt laced with disapproval. Personally, I’m on the “You go girl!” team.

From past two years we were in search of some high roads in Northern Pakistan, finally, in the year 2015 we hit the road from Gilgit to Shandoor
We had the original plan to travel from Gilgit to Chitral, but many people showed their concerns regarding the flood in the Chitral valley, So we restricted ourselves till Shandoor, but we needed the determination to push our limits to the extent we could.
A little bit disappointment since Shandoor polo festival won't be available this year due to floods.
